THoMPsoNs BOOKS CORRECT.

They Fail to Show Shortage-Evi-
dences of Neglect, But Nothing
More.
There were great many rumors ahoat on
the street last night concerning the sudden
disappearance of Tiney B. Thompson, but
none of them could be traced to an
authentic source. Mr.. J. J. Melon
ough was seen at his residence last
night, and he stated that he bad
completed the investigation of the books
and had found nothing wrong with the
money II find evidence of his neglect of
business" he said, "but there is nothing
wrong with the money. In many instances
he had failed TO make a proper disposition
of the papers Specifications and things of
that kind he stuffed into a pigeon hole in
stead of turning them over to the proper
clerk to be recorded. Then, too, he would
send orders to the mills without making
memoranda of them in the order book.
They were copied like all letters in the let
ter book, and we checked up the order book
with that, but they did not show up on the
order book as they should have done.
Mistakes, and the results of his recent care
lessness are plenty, but we have gone
through the books and they do not show
any shortage of money"
Then he could not have taken away
muchg"
"No, nothing but the small amount that
has been mentioned but if he had called for
the settlement of the affairs of the concern
winding up of the firm-he could have
got more than that"
How about the amount with the Sayan-
nah Bank and Trust Company?"
well, it is true that Thompson opened
that account without my consent, but it
was all business When he told me he had
been elected a director in the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company told him to &C
cept the position if he wanted to, but to re-
member that l never wanted an account
with that bank. He opened the account in
my absence, but the account is all business. ,
Mr.. McDonough, have you any idea why
Thompson left, or have you any theoryp'
"None in the world. l cannot conceive
why he should have done such a thing. His
prospects were bright and his home happy,
and can form no idea why he should have
gone off as he has. The trouble with Tiney
was that he was trying to run
too many things. He wanted
to manage the pigeon shooting,
the dramatic club, the base ball, the lumber
business, and don't know what all If he
had Topped off the pigeon shooting and the
other side issues, don't think he would have
had any trouble"
Nothing further has been heard from him
and no one has yet any idea where he has

Savannah and Tybee Railway Com
pany-Change of Schedule.

The change of schedule which goes into
effect to-day is a most admirable one for
the season, and shortens the running time
between the city and island fifteen minutes.
The trains leave the city for the island at
$3.50 a. m. and 3 p. M, and, returning,
leave the island at II a. m. and 5 AS D. m. =,
on standard time Visitors have either a
whole day on the island or, by afternoon
train, two hours for strolling upon the
beach, and returning to the city in time for
supper September, October and Novem-
Der are the most delightful months at Tybee,
and the numbers who flock there daily bear
testimony to this, and the change OF sched-
ule is expected to increase the number of
visitors. Railway communication will be
kept up with the island all winter, and
hotels be open for guests

Dublin Gazette: Col John NJ Stubs has
just returned from visit to the point ON this
line where grading is going on. He seems
fully satisfied with the progress of the work.
Carpenter, Grant, Mundy q Co., the large
contractors, have over 700 hands upon the
work and are pushing it with such vigor
that the first fifty miles will be completed in
a few days and the entire force put to work
upon the next fifty-mile section. Engineer
Blanford has a fine corps now at work
near Excelsior, making certain changes in
the line, which work will be completed in a
few days. Carpenter, Grant, Mundy & Co.
are advertising for / 900 more good hands,
and are offering 81 IS per day for all good
laborers. Everything seems to be moving
along as nicely as could be desired, and the
indications now point to the fact that Dub

A Foolish Young Man.

A few days ago young man
named Huey, living on the Quincy
and Palmyra wagon road, bought
a blooded calf and started to take
it home with rope about its stubby
horns. The rope cut the young
mans hands, SO he thought to rest
his hands, he'd make the rope fast
about his waist, which he did.
Result-a badly bruised up young
man, with one broken leg between
the knee and ankle and the other
one disabled. The calf run away
and dragged Huey a quarter of d
mile. The life of the young man
is despaired of. Huey is the son
of an old and wealthy farmer and

the grass-hopper raids i'll Dakota
and other parts of the west, Elder
Blodgett held series of revival
meetings in small place in the
southeastern part of the territory,
where the settlement then was
chiefly confined. He had preach
ed a powerful sermon and had in
duced about two-thirds of the
congregation to come forward and
indicate their desire to unite with
the church. Fearing that some
might not fully understand the
new duties the step would involve,
he began to explain what they
must not do in the future.

Grafton was possibly the grandest

justice, or show the deep thought,
pleasing humor, and flowing elo-
quence of the address, which we

knowing that our readers would
be amply repaid upon the perusal
of it. Prof. Blanton, as an orator,
came here highly recommended d
and more than sustained the repu-
